  2. http://www.candyandcandy.com/ For some eye-popping luxury interior design, the projects showcased here take some beating.
  3. http://www.vanhan.co.uk/ has some of the most exclusive London properties on its books upon which you can apply your new -found interior design skills

A holiday home is often an interesting mix of investment and heartfelt connection. You want to use it, but you may well also be keen for others to use it too. We can advise you on what factors to consider in making your decision. And we can then find the perfect holiday home for you to enjoy.

We ensure all aspects of your investment decision are addressed. Finding, analysing, negotiating, and completing… it’s what we do.
Moving from abroad

Moving
from abroad

Relocating is time consuming and stressful. We regularly work with clients who live abroad. We hunt, short-list, prepare your viewings, and make the search process as easy as possible. We oversee the negotiations, manage the conveyancing, and deal with the headaches, so you can concentrate on other aspects of your move.
